Although many species gather in reasonably large numbers, only a comparative few congregate in their tens or hundreds of thousands, even millions. And they do so for different reasons. For some species, mass aggregations are merely the peak of a fluctuating population cycle that keeps a balance between their own needs and those of their predators....For other species, however, huge numbers represent the best chance of survival under difficult circumstances."
